Marta Rodríguez Díaz, a Catholic expert on gender ideology, said that rather than fighting gender ideology, the mission of the Catholic Church is “to seek to make light shine in the darkness” and to offer critical dialogue.
Rodríguez also pointed out that “if the Church is not credible today in terms of gender, it is not because it doesn’t have much to say but because there is a lack of educators who know how to convey its message in a comprehensive and accurate way.”
Rodríguez was chosen by the Spanish Bishops’ Conference to provide formation to diocesan delegates for family and life pastoral care regarding the challenge the gender ideology issue represents for the Catholic Church.
She holds a doctorate in philosophy from the Pontifical Gregorian University and is a professor in the philosophy department of the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum. She is also coordinator of the academic area of the Institute for Women’s Studies.
Rodríguez is also the academic director of the course on gender, sex, and education at the Francisco de Vitoria University in collaboration with the Regina Apostolorum and was part of the Dicastery for Laity, Family, and Life.
She spoke recently with ACI Prensa, CNA’s Spanish-language
